Welcome to web site of the

Greater Atlanta British Motorcycle Association

Last updated: Jan 24, 2010


This is what we like to see... classic Brit bikes that get ridden.


Founded in 1982, GABMA is a group of individuals across the southeastern US who eat, sleep, breathe, live and love motorcycles made in England. Our members are all ages, come from all walks of life, and ride all brands, year models and styles of bikes. We are an active club interested in riding and preserving these wonderful motorcycles, and enjoy the company of others who share similar interests. If you enjoy our web site, perhaps we'll see you at one of our monthly meetings, one of our regular rides or at our annual "British in the Blue Ridge Rally" in the beautiful mountains of north Georgia.
